Yes, but this is no longer working as designed on phone, if you want to
speak something into the microphone and have it transmitted on the secondary
radio.  That is why task
#264<http://flyspray.win-test.com/index.php?id=264&do=details>was
opened almost a year ago.  Do you (José) agree that it is a bug?

In the old days, I believe, you could press CapsLock, and F4, and then say
something on the second radio by speaking into the mic.  That doesn't work
any more, last time I checked.  This cannot be fixed by using $TR1 and $TR2.

To review:

   1. CapsLock (or Shift) changes data entry focus ONLY, to secondary radio
   (it turns yellow)
   2. At this point, if you speak into the mic. or use the paddles, output
   goes to *primary* radio, NOT secondary (this is OK and by design)
   3. Next, press a message key like F4 or F2 to send your call and
   exchange, while the secondary radio is highlighted yellow.  This output will
   go to the secondary radio (this is OK and by design)
   4. Now at this point, *after *pressing a message key, if you want send
   something more, like a QSY request or a repeat, using the paddles, it works
   OK, output goes to the (highlighted) secondary radio.
   5. However, at the same point, if you speak into the microphone, output
   goes to the PRIMARY (non-highlighted) radio, and this is the bug.  CW and
   Phone should work the same.

QSL?

The complexity of Win-Test's Advanced SO2R techniques for S&P and dupe
checking on the secondary radio led me to create the "AltD" scripts, which
require far fewer keystrokes to accomplish the same thing.  I tried to make
it keystroke compatible with TRlog, for those who are used to it.  It works
with or without ESM mode.

Installation instructions and usage description are at
